Loopback Definition
AloopbackandBitErrorRateTest(BERT)providetheabilitytoinsertaknowntrafficpattern
andverifytheerror‐freeperformanceofthecircuitatgivenpointsinthesystem.
Line Loopback
Alineloopback(seeFigureG‐1)loopsallofthereceiveddatabacktowardthenetwork(DS3
payloadandDS3data).Thetransmitteddataistheidenticaldatathatisreceivedandisnot
reframedorregenerated.ThistestsrightuptotheDS3interfaceofthemodule.
Theline
loopbackcanbelocaltotheaccessmodule.

Payload Loopback
Apayloadloopback(seeFigureG‐2)performsthesamefunctionalityasthelineloopback,
exceptthepayloadloopbacksendsthereceiveddatathroughtheframer,whereitisreframed
andregenerated,priortobeingtransmittedbackouttowardsthenetwork.Thistestalso
verifiestheinternalhardwareofthe
module.
Thepayloadloopbackislocallyinitiated.
NOTE
TheDS3doesnotsupportapayloadloopback.
